Knock Off Quad Better than Brand Name Drone? | Q333-A Comparison - TheRcSaylors

[@TheRcSaylors]

Buy it here: goo.gl/wtPBqQ

[@onechosenson]

two questions... is it ok to buy as a first drone? and how close are flight characteristics to the actual inspire as far as entry level comparison? im looking to get into drones and eventually get my drone FAA comercial liscense to use for Utility electric line inspections and wind turbine blade inspections which are two industries I work in. How is this drone for a practice drone to develop skills needed for that? And if not this one, what would you recomend?

[@Dhananjay21]

TheRcSaylors can you send me this drone i pay for you

[@Dhananjay21]

TheRcSaylors im frome india and drone totally banned in india😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@KiteBear]

What is the difference between the WL Toys Q333-A ....... B ........ C........D........E designations on these drones??? Is it to do with 5.8Gig and WiFi video?? I don't see what the difference is when looking at them on line?? Thanks

[@winterwarrior2576]

[@mpgsters3436]

I would had been skeptical to hit the return home button on that one,can you imagine if it would fly back to china? xD

[@TheRcSaylors]

LoL

[@willbernhardt4163]

MPGster s I'm done lol

[@boxingknowledge2.318]

Hahaha 😂😂

[@hassanhaq3570]

I'm DEAD! 😂😂

[@neverstoplearning7214]

LOL

[@renzevenir4853]

Should've been named "Inspired"

[@TheRcSaylors]

;-)

[@steady747]

Good one

[@Crushonius]

no maybe uninspired because the copy and paste is strong with this one

[@shelleyferguson9318]

I can't believe how attentive and supportive Abby is! You're a lucky guy!

[@TheRcSaylors]

We are BOTH very lucky to have each other :)

[@cgod241]

I know and yet he kinda blows her off

[@privateeyeaerialimaging1486]

It's called overselling a review, in hope that you click📥 his link and he gets a kickback📤 👾

[@AmericanBulldogRocky]

For a first quad, this is amazing. The Technology keeps getting better and the price keeps getting lower.

[@TheRcSaylors]

It's an amazing quadcopter! I'd possibly go with something slightly more durable as a first quad and then fly this, but if you are patient and have an open area to fly, this could do as a first :)

[@cj-ib5zw]

I just felt the need to comment on how great your videos are and also how enjoyable it is to see you guys enjoying each other so much! It's very rare to see a couple get along so well while acting so genuine! Keep up the awesome work and thank you for showing affordable gear. Stay blessed TheRcSaylors!

[@TheRcSaylors]

Thanks Clay! The world needs more positive people like you. High five my friend!

[@Thestudiedtheist]

I’m having a difficult time finding videos that I haven’t watched but I found this cool drone , I like it

[@LeeHazleton]

Nate & Abby, You guys rock.....I watched this video numerous times before deciding to buy the Q333. It works just like you said it would. I even bought extra batteries (don't know why some folks can't find them). My first day flying it was great until it got stuck 70 ft. up in an oak tree. But I was so impressed with it that i ordered another that night (pissed my wife off). Been flying the new one a couple of weeks now and I absolutely love it. Several hard crashes and it's still going strong. I'm writing this mostly for all of the nay-sayers about its quality. Sure, it's a toy....we all know that. About an hour ago I finally got my first one out of the tree after two weeks. It went through wind and rainstorms and finally a 70ft. drop to the ground. The only damage was: the battery popped out and one of the motor covers came loose (snapped right back into place). I knew this bird was done from all of the rain, but I couldn't resist: I popped a spare battery (the kind that apparently don't exist) in it and she came to life. Lights, deformation, camera, everything worked. I gave it a short test flight and it was perfect! The left rear motor started to smoke a bit, so I pulled the battery. I just ordered 4 new motors for a whopping $25. In a couple of weeks, I'll have 2 working birds. All in all, I think this bird is well worth the price, and all parts are readily available if you just look for them. Thanks so much for your excellent videos !!!!!!

[@derjoh1986]

Your Abby's laugh at that surprised moment, priceless! lol 7:15

[@valentino_govoni_official]

that drone is "truly inspiring"

[@birminghamblueheat4986]

I just went on your website and saw that you guys are in Kentucky. Wow.. cool story! Keep up the good work. Whenever I need an opinion on a quad, I always come to your videos. Nate & Abby, you guys rock!

[@79ridgerunner]

Just now getting into drone flying and you all have helped me out a lot!!! Thank you for all the great drone reviews. On a final note were almost neighbors, I have family that live in Ashland and I visit regularly. Keep up the great reviews!!!!

[@TheRcSaylors]

Now that is really cool :-) Thanks for watching 79!

[@droneflyer1447]

Thanks for the converter link!!! I needed a converted so bad for my x16 fpv drone and you saved me $50!!!!!! Thx☺😃

[@derjoh1986]

Nate's laugh at that moment? Classic!! Lol 8:05

[@indianavarietychannel8859]

I had a hard crash with my little drone a cracked the shell into multiple peaces some how. I glued it back together and I flies ok

[@evansobx]

You guys are awesome, my youngest son and I are now the proud owners of the Hubsan 501s,Vusion 250 and now 2 Q333 at an unbelievable price!! Keep up the good work and reviews🤗🤗

[@TheRcSaylors]

Hey Doug :-D Thank you for your kind words! I'm happy to know that you guys are enjoying the hobby together and that we've been able to help a little along the way :-)

[@daxkidd1585]

I've been waiting for a review of this quad on this channel!

[@TheRcSaylors]

It's taken us a while to pick one up, but super glad we did now :)

[@alcarriere1630]

Just hit the BUY button. You guys are inspiring 😊

[@antmac4284]

I love how excited you were about this. I'm buying one in the morning.

[@TheRcSaylors]

So much fun to hit the transform button mid air :)

[@ASouthernYankee]

First of all...THANKS for all the time you spend on the videos. The help they provide in showing both the strong and weak points of various rc items really help a lot of people. Have you compared this (Q333) with the Q393? I am very curious as to your opinion on the pros and cons when directly compared to each other.

[@TheRcSaylors]

We haven't compared them but we do have two separate videos covering each of them.

[@sputniksam]

WLToys have even gone to the trouble of replicating the colour vignetting problems that some of the DJI cameras have. 😜 Regards Nidge

[@TornadoBox]

lmao

[@jensoncannon3446]

you guys are just the best rc reviewers ever seriously I love waiting for the next video always get so excited for it!!! love you guys!!

[@TheRcSaylors]

Thank you very much! It's just an awesome hobby :)

[@route66flyer29]

Hey Nate, If you watch the video again you'll see the RTH was spot on as it was facing off center (about 1 o'clock position) when you took off the last time before you used the RTH. Don't forget some quads will return in the opposite direction that it's bound in and some in the opposite direction their nose is facing during TO. *Dance the Skies*.

[@WilliamJones-nq6is]

Yay you guys actually made a review on this😄😄😄 you guys are awesome!!

[@TheRcSaylors]

We didn't think it would actually work this well. Very fun to fly :-)

[@wildhog3217]

You sounded and look so happy about this one so I ordered one also . Looking forward for an updated video on this Inspire clone. Love you guys and thanks for video.

[@TheRcSaylors]

We could definitely go fly it again :) In fact, I would love to! I've got it sitting right by our Inspire! Just need it to stop raining!!!

[@wildhog3217]

That's awesome, thanks for such a quick response. Looking forward to watching your video in nicer weather.

[@ARTnVegas]

great video - well done I think we all realize it is NOT the Inspire and of course would not have all the high tech stuff or all the bells and whistles of the Inspire but for the price a good knock off to "play with"

[@lerenzi6158]

i started watching your videos a few days days and you are quickly becoming my favourite channel :) keep up the good videos :)

[@audifan201]

I had one of these and I had issues with the battery clicking in. I would recommend using a rubber band around the battery so it does not come loose during flight and crash like mine did. Great video non the less keep them coming!

[@derjoh1986]

10:20 I never had a issue with battery life flight time in cold weather and was just curious as to how did you guys come to that conclusion that cold weather shortens battery life? I do believe the more aggressive you fly, the shorter your flight time in most weather conditions, however I am interested in your conclusion as to your shorter flight times with your drones.

[@danseals220]

Dang!!!! You really had me going but you just killed the game for me. I can't believe any of these this sophisticated with no altitude hold. The first perk everyone wants. Specially all us newbees.

[@capnpete1154]

This is my favorite video because it gives me a reasonable choice from a drone I can't afford. Your cover on this drone was impressive. Made me wanna buy right off! Thanks for the great vids and priceless info. Congrats on the subscribe numbers!!!

[@scottlambeth4871]

This is my favorite video because it was the first drone I saw on your channel that really caught my eye. I know this wasn’t one of your oldest video but I loved and still do love this drone. I knew that the Dji one of these is like a billion dollars and I was nowhere near that. 8 never even really got this one but I love that transforming thing it did just like the big real one.

[@midnightprowler640]

Have you Tried the eye one extreme quadcopter from rc logger,you can fly it with your own transmitter with the one link or you can use a reciever,i have one but not flown it yet as the weather in UK in horrible

[@TheRcSaylors]

We have not but will have to check it out :)

[@ThephotoRONIN]

I have watched three reviews of this drone and all three had different results with flying it. Wonder if they are all different releases (firmware) or sketchy build quality.

[@garyharrismusic]

You two looked very excited about this one. I enjoyed watching this one. Ive always been in awe of the "Inspire". I have a question a little off topic though. The video quality is Awesome. Do you remember what camera you used in this review? Very rich color. Anyway, thank you again for all of your reviews. You make my late nights enjoyable.

[@TheRcSaylors]

Thanks Gary :) I could be wrong here but this was most likely filmed with our DSLR cannon camera that we use in a majority of our videos. It being a bit more bright out let in more light making everything look better ;)

[@taylorearnhart1631]

Hello RC Saylors, I really enjoy watching your videos of you and Popeye. What a great channel you have going, awesome reviews and good info about all kinds of RC components and Gear. Keep the videos going They're really fun to watch.

[@smokinquads3890]

WLToys, the poor mans DJI, LOL. Time to sell the Inspire and buy a car. I think it would be hilarious to see this thing do flips and rolls. Thanks for another great review, and happy new year!

[@amitojdhillon3287]

hi rc saylor i really like ur vids and im finding a cool drone i cant choose bettween wltoys q333 and wltoys q323 which one should i buy

[@johnhernandez4176]

love watching channel, you both were obviously meant for each other, your love and energy for RCs , Very Informative for all viewers and convinced me to buy this model. Keep up the good work!!!!

[@BigBossSalazar]

Thanks for the review. That knockoff looks very fun!

[@capnpete1154]

This is sill my favorite video because your enthusiasm cost me $177!! I had to have this drone even after having just bought a wifi drone! Anxiously awaiting both deliveries!

[@petemitsch6346]

Love you guys' Vids. Always do great reviews and I am taking your advice again to get this little guy for my collection.

[@TheRcSaylors]

It's extremely fun, but fairly fragile compared to most on the market, so take it easy with it and it should last you a long time :) Happy Flying!!

[@gemster18]

I think I want one of these... great Cold review lol. how much is the battery replacement btw... I couldn't find it on line... love ya guys

[@girthyyobo1554]

That is awsome, do you think you could do a review on the blade inductrix fpv plz, it's my favourite drone?! Great vid 👍🏼

[@TheRcSaylors]

We will check it out :)

[@Gloeiii]

hello, I have a question. I have been looking into these quad copters. and I would love to have 1 with a decent camera. I do not want to reach crazy speeds. just average. but I would like to see hd camera on it. good height (steady aswell). and durable ( I tend to break stuff). my budget is not really big, like 60-70 euros. what would be a good option mr drone specialist? thank you

[@nor4277]

Another great video,what's with that adapter you said we should get,I got three of them they came with my soldering gun,the my soldering gun didn't say what they are for,and my soldering gun works fine with out them.

[@TheRcSaylors]

It's a converter so the European charger can work here in the States :)

[@nicholas1116]

I love this video because it’s so funny and you guys make y day so happy I also love this drone and really want to buy it. Thx for being the best KZbin channel there ever was I love you guys!!!!

[@tobybautert875]

Anyway you could find inexpensive drones like this that you can use your own radio and equipment to fly?

[@TimberTechWorkshop]

Are you able to use that monitor as a stand-alone FPV monitor for other 5.8 fpv cameras?

[@TheRcSaylors]

Yes :-)

[@ThomasWinders]

I have the Q303 and it's quite enough to have some fun. It has auto-leveling camera (on 1 axis) and you can set it to your preferred angle. Plus, it has altitude hold function. It would be nice if they went with the same things here too. Still, I can't get why they go with so low quality cameras on those toys...

[@HopeFullSpiritFlyer1]

hello. thank for the video. questions: 1) did you test the maximum range of the RC, ans the range of the video ? 2) what append when lost rc signal? thank you.

[@TheRcSaylors]

We never test the max range. Breaking LoS is Extremely dangerous and irresponsible :/

[@wildhog3217]

I knew you'd like it, cause it's like your DJI Inspire.....I may get one as well in the near future. Just waiting on my Hubsan E to come in.....

[@ceramic49]

How much does the quad itself weigh (w/battery)? Basically I want to know if it has to be registered.

[@AceJenkens]

hi thx for your reviews just got this drone and for the money and fun factor its awsome no problems with my drove did get extra battery. to let you know i have got 3 things from your Awsome reviews. the VKar Bison, this drone and 1 more drone. love your channel. did put gps on bison got it to 41 mps on my narrow street. keep up the awsome reviews. thx Ace Jenkens

[@brannenthompson9662]

I've decided to get the Q333 as Gear Best do free postage to the UK where I am but the advert say's 0.3mp camera and I know there are 3 versions A,B and C I'm probably being stupid? It can be some are advertised HD with 5.0mp or 720p with 2.0mp it,s confusing I want one with 720p video the actual video you have done the pictures look great. Thanks for the great video's they have definitely helped me get into drones.

[@biottis4170]

OMG!!!! I have a DREAM for a mini inspire!!!!

[@drvnucrzy]

What would you choose this one or bugs 3? Thinking of getting one for my daughter

[@stanbrewer6079]

so a mini me,inspire. good review, good flight. giddy kidde nate on his mini..😊 so were both of your batteries getting lower faster with the cold.❔😄

[@TheRcSaylors]

Yes definitely. Just like car batteries (that you drive in) suffer in the winter, a battery in one of these will struggle as well. I'd say it knocked off a noticeable amount of flight time :/

[@WastedTalent26]

if you ever see these modified with GPS and brushless motors and a gimbal well my friend you have something there check out the modified version of the Q333! pretty awesome what you can do with a cheap platform

[@TheRcSaylors]

That would be a fun build :)

[@bhower02]

I have heard tush's used before. lol I really liked the flat black transmitter. I also would paint the battery with neon green paint to look like it is charged.

[@TheRcSaylors]

Ooh that's a fun idea to paint the top part of the battery :-)

[@Sir_Brennan]

Totally off topic and I'm not trying to be mean, but when you were off camera and just talking, I realized how much of a Hank Hill vibe I was getting from your voice. Now I can't unhear. haha

[@TheRcSaylors]

Ah fair enough :) He's a pretty chill guy, lol.

[@LimitedInfinity1]

What does "headless" mode mean?? Im new to this quad helicopter thing...

[@cvader7]

Hi there... how would you rate the stability of the video vs the parrot bebop 2? thanks

[@kuze32]

so you have to have the adapter to charge this battery? that would of been a great thing to know before ordering one. Is that in the description when you go to order?

[@TheRcSaylors]

Hey Brian, did you happen to watch our video Before you purchased this? We do actually tell you in this video that you'll need the adapter, and linked one for you :) One benefit of watching our videos ;)

[@kuze32]

Actually just got mine in today and low and behold it actually had the adapter in it. I ordered from Gearbest and chose to have it shipped from their LA warehouse got it in 3 days great shipping time so maybe that was the difference. great tutorial though going to be putting up my review soon just ran home from work to plug in the battery to fly tonight.. lol 3hr charge time isn't very fun :) guess ill have to buy more Batteries and chargers!

[@telephony]

According to the GB website, this quad can do flips & rolls. Have you tested this function?

[@birminghamblueheat4986]

Awesome video, cool quad! What state are you guys located?

[@Swallabat]

I've had quite a few WLtoys copters, and they are all pretty well sorted (which makes a pleasant change) IF ONLY they had done a mark two version of this with the super gimbal that comes with their Q696 and (at least) altitude hold, it would have been a winner.

[@dannyrutter9397]

I wish I could get an actual inspire, I can't even afford this cheap knock off one :/

[@mitchell5064]

DaMoose inspire is too big and too expensive, the mavic pro is my type of drone...

[@timhill2849]

DaMoose ....me either.. I'm so broke i can't even pay attention.

[@saucysaucerton1515]

are you busted, disgusted, and can't be trust-ed?

[@dannyrutter9397]

saucy saucerton nah just broke

[@neverstoplearning7214]

Same here !!

[@akborealisdevstringerdesig3845]

I bought the q333a back in October of 2017. I attached a gopro off the back end with a swing arm and flew it once trying to film the sunset. It was about 20 degrees F and about 80' above my house it started to drift out over a busy intersection. I tried to bring it back but it soon spiraled into the biggest tree in my backyard. After impacting this tree about 50 feet up, the only thing that came to the ground was the gopro. (I did recover footage of the crash off the gopro). Well this drone spent the entire winter up in this tree and that not a good place to be as Alaskan winters are brutal and long. It hit - 35F on a few occasions. Last month around the 5th of May a wind storm with 60mph gusts knocked the drone outta the tree so I recovered it and sat in on the heater for a few days. The T bracket on the right side was broken and the smaller of the carbon rods was missing as was the attachment clip where it was seated to. The entire right arm with two motors was free to spin around so essentially the right side motors where upside down. I sent away for these parts, used hotglue, half a split straw and tried to fix it. I've no experience fixing drones and this was my first drone. Yesterday was its first flight and the damn thing flew better then when I first flew it. It's stable and all the LEDs work. Amazing for a toy drone.

[@mobius-1965]

Attention Saylor fans I am from the future 8/18/18 to be exact,you need to get one of these because i want one now and they are sold out,dji did not lower the price on the inspire a bit so trust me get one of these or you will be like me and not have a transforming skull next year.

[@TheRcSaylors]

Lol, awesome comment :) We searched the web for the best place to buy it because our original place we linked did totally sell out at the good price. Sadly, it's a lot more expensive now. I think our video may slightly be the cause of that, but it is also a great little drone! Thanks for tuning in Mobius!

[@JamesKing2understandinglife]

Thanks for sharing another fun informative video. The clone concept is amazing.

[@PuertoRican88]

That is amazing for a cloned DJI Inspire, better affordable price and it looks like it performs very well compared to the actual big model. I would buy this definitely to save cash. Great video dude on how it flies and all its performance done.

[@timdaniel9904]

Hey guys, I was wondering if you know if there is an adapter made for charging the battery with a Venom Pro charger?

[@TheRcSaylors]

Not sure about that one Tim, though that would be Really Awesome!! Maybe check ebay, to see if anyone is making a Deans to that type of connector, or something along those lines ;)

[@alansavage9656]

Awesome video Nate & Abby!! I might just get that since I can't afford to get the real Inspire 1 :)

[@Greg_the_Berean]

Awesome video/review! Looks like this mini budget friendly look alike is a ton of fun to fly and show off! You guys definitly sold it haha. Thanks for the thorough review. I'm headed over to grab one now. :) Cheers Greg

[@TheRcSaylors]

It put a smile on our faces!

[@garyfollansbee8347]

Is there an adapter for the batteries so a hobby charger can be used?

[@jonathanmsmbe331]

Hey guys I NEED HELP!!!. I hope y'all are doing great! Just asking for some help, this drone had caught my attention from the size and price at the moment.... But my big question is, would it be able to fly out even take off if i were to rig it to hold a phone underneath? The weight of my phone is 6.24oz... or if you guys have a suggestion on another drone that could support that weight with no issues. Thanks guys! Love y'all!!!

[@AmericanBulldogRocky]

wait...the link you provided does not show the fpv monitor for the transmitter. Are you sure it is included?

[@TheRcSaylors]

Definitely. I'll double check to be sure.

[@TheRcSaylors]

Just double checked to be on the safe side for you. It says there are only three left in stock, so ya better hurry if you're going to get one!! So, on the images, if you scroll down it does actually show all the stuff that ours comes with ;)

[@AmericanBulldogRocky]

ok thanks!

[@Hoggdoc1946]

Is there any adjustment to the camera's exposure. The videos are very dark.

[@krusi3]

are you able to recommend a budget drone that can fit a GoPro and is foldable?

[@wowmeowooo]

Happy New Year Saylors, Is there an E-fest this year? ...I have been seeing & reading a lot of mixed opinion.

[@TheRcSaylors]

Confirmed that there will be no Efest this year, sadly.

[@mikesanders6376]

Hello RCSaylors, Now that you've had it ( WL Q333) for over a month...how do you feel about it? Thanks, mike

[@TheRcSaylors]

Mine is still proudly sitting by my real Inspire. I've honestly only flown it about 5 times since this review though. Still awesome every time!

[@mikesanders6376]

Hi and thanks for responding...thinking of purchasing one, still on the fence....mike

[@gameboydc281]

You guys are the best, i love watching your drone videos

[@TheRcSaylors]

Thank you very much :-D

[@markhughes5574]

it looks cool. But 2 questions does it have to be registered and will it hold up in a crash landing

[@ericklemus4703]

Mark Hughes no it does not, you probably survive a crash landing. But don't get it a a starter. Buy a hubsan drone, amazing first time drobes

[@tiagotiagot]

From what I've seen, the Syma X5C is the most recommended for beginners

[@noahw.3784]

Nice, have you checked out the jlb 21101? It is like the vkar bison. I think you'd like it, it is really fast and durable, and is only about $250- $260 if im correct

[@TheRcSaylors]

We will check it out :)

[@noahw.3784]

TheRcSaylors Wow im surprised you responded :) thanks for giving it a look

[@agupacheco2692]

This is my favorite video because it looks just like the inspire and I was planning to buy but can't because I don't have the money

[@Rando104854]

awesome!! like always.. love watching your videos.

[@mikesrcmadness4752]

do they do spare batteries for this bitta kit... many thanks... mike..

[@calevanbrunt5606]

TheRcSaylors do you use a fire proof bag to store your Rc batteries?

[@TheRcSaylors]

Absolutely.

[@jasonsaez3668]

Awesome looking drone! I wish I would have seen this before I got my MJX 601H!!!

[@nitrorc1623]

The motors are brushed, right? Is this always the case with geared props?

[@TheRcSaylors]

Not sure I've ever seen a brushless motor on a drone with a geared set up.

[@HuskyStudios]

Oh my gosh! I remember you guys brushing off a landing pad haha!

[@zeusxd157]

Do you know how to reset the drone? because i tink my drone is eror(please help!!!)

[@RCJOE]

looks pretty close and always looks easy to fly when your have an experienced pilot 👌

[@TheRcSaylors]

This one is very easy to fly compared to any other similar quad.

[@davidellis5135]

Do they make a carry case for this drone or does anyone know of a case it will fit with the rotor blades attached.

[@donbarron677]

Thanx guys your video's are so detailed.keep up the good work.

[@TheRcSaylors]

Thanks for tuning in Don :-)

[@nawavey3114]

you guys should check out the DHK hobby 8384 4x4 1/8 off road rc truck at gear best

[@georgesmith5598]

Awesome! Which small quad do you think has the best and most stable video quality?

[@TheRcSaylors]

Have you seen our year end video of our top ten favorite rcs?

[@airwolf0916]

can you pair fpv goggle with the onboard camera?

[@BRP42]

Great review and thanks for the info. I can't believe some of the negative stuff below... esp. the one guy's handle (not going to say it here... don't want to give him the time of day!). One suggestion, though, is try to stabilize the camera that's recording you guys? It's a bit jumpy and distracting, esp. at the beginning. Even so, great info. and I appreciate you taking the time to make the video.

[@TheRcSaylors]

Thanks for the positive comment my friend. There are just so many negative people in the world, and everyone feels much more bold with their word choice hiding behind a computer or phone.
